Trip to Saginaw

We took a road trip yesterday to Saginaw to visit our good friend Erin. The kids had a lot of fun playing, while us girls did a lot of catching up. I got to play around at Erin's studio in her basement with all the kids. It's not easy to get all six kids looking AND smiling. Thanks for having us Erin!

She makes me smile

A few lines from Macey today......

At the dinner table it was silent for a moment so she comes up with, "So...what are you thinking of doing tomorrow morning mom?"

The phone rang. Jason then later asks, "Who was it?" I answer, "Toll free call" Macey then asks, "Dad do you know toll free from school? Does he work with you?"

I am confused as Kelsey keeps saying, "Oz oz oz" over and over. Finally Macey yells, "Mom she wants to watch Wizard of Oz!" Kelsey then nods. Good thing I have a translator.

"When is Kelsey going to wake up? I miss her when she's sleeping"

"You're the smartest Mom!"

She was helping me look through old Taste of Home magazines for new recipe ideas. "Hey, here are some new haircuts for you mom!" I then said, "We're looking for recipes not haircuts today, remember? Her response, "But I LOVE this haircut!" (it was a really short haircut!)
